Dude is basically a make-a-wish footballer right now. The portuguese people are cucks if they don't start protesting him. His ego is hindering their best chance of going deep in the WC in years

I’ve watched that Messi vs Iceland comp like 5 times.
I even went on google to double check his age and he’s deadass turning 39 in 2 weeks.
I don’t stay up late to watch Inter Miami games so haven’t watched him since the 2022 World Cup, but I can’t believe how good he is still. 🤣
Been saying that I don’t think Argentina have a chance, but all they need is 10 other players that are prepared to bleed and run like mad men for him & they can easily go back to back wtf.
The thing about Messi is, he hasn’t really detriorated since 2022. At least not significantly.
Obviously doesn’t have the PnP, but that’s been gone for a good 5 years. And he still retains enough of a burst to get past his man over short distances, which is really all he needs for the way he’s evolved his game.
What I can say with certainty is his playmaking and attacking efficiency is as sharp as ever, the best around.
When you combine that with a system that is built around him and an OOP that subsequently compensates, and he’s going to be brilliant at the World Cup.
